About the role
We’re looking for a dedicated and professional to join our Mental Health AMHP Hub.
You will be working as an Advanced Practitioner/AMHP in a friendly and supportive team, providing statutory services under the Mental Health Act 1983. The AMHP will be on a rolling 6‑week rota, undertaking Mental Health Act assessments and covering a 24‑hour service, 365 days per year.
Approved Mental Health Professionals have a crucial role in improving mental health outcomes for Hillingdon residents.

We support people to live in the community, and working with families and local communities is central to our approach. We know this achieves the best outcomes. Developing a whole‑system response with key partners is critical to delivering high‑quality, outcome‑focused care and the right support.
We recognise the specialist skills, knowledge and experience that Mental Health Social Workers and AMHPs bring. In recognition of this, our practising AMHPs are appointed as Advanced Social Work Practitioners.
We offer
- A competitive starting salary
- 20% enhancement for out-of-hours working
- Monthly support and supervision
- Manageable caseloads
- Annual AMHP‑specific training
- Access to the AMHP forum
- A wide range of CPD opportunities across the service
